Can Europe Vote its Way Out of Islamization? By Daniel Greenfield

Robert Spencer : Voters may be ready, but politicians aren’t. The week before a 23-year-old Syrian refugee stabbed 5 people in Austria, the authorities had arrested a 14-year-old Turkish teenager who had been preparing for a bomb attack on a train station. That made for two Islamic terrorist attacks in two weeks in the small sleepy country.

Germany is reeling from two car attacks in two months and an Afghan refugee stabbing a 2-year-old boy to death making for three terrorist attacks in three months. The latest victims from the Munich car attack by a Muslim terrorist include a mother and her 2-year-old daughter.

Germany’s upcoming elections will be the latest test to determine whether Europe can take any more. Austria’s elections saw the Freedom Party score its best numbers yet. Some 60% of the Austrian electorate had come out for ‘conservative’ political parties critical of Islamic migration.

Austria’s political parties remain dysfunctional, but its electorate is demanding an end to terror.

Polls show that 1 in 5 Germans are ready to vote for Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) making it potentially the second largest party in the country. If so, AFD would be on track to double its numbers in under four years. Most of the credit for that would go to the German public, not AfD which, like most right-wing parties in Europe, continues to run inept political campaigns.

But what voters want or vote for often doesn’t matter in Europe. Voter surges in France and the Netherlands by parties critical of Islamization were nullified by a corrupt political culture that colluded to keep Geert Wilders and Marine LePen out of office.

The compromise government in the Netherlands without Wilders has failed to achieve any actual change and was nearly brought down when its Moroccan State Secretary for Benefits and Customs resigned in a huff over government remarks critical of Islam after the Muslim riots in Amsterdam targeting Jews.
